At around 10:34 pm on September 20, a stunning fireball lit up the sky over Beijing, streaking across with a blue-green glow and illuminating the night. Several motorists' dashcams captured the breathtaking moment.

Witnesses described the fireball's sudden appearance as incredibly bright, though the entire event only lasted a few seconds, leaving a lasting impression.

Astronomers speculate that the fireball likely originated from the Epsilon Perseid meteor shower, which is active annually from September 5 to 21, with this event occurring near its peak. Meteor showers typically form from comet debris, and as Earth passes through a comet's orbit, fragments can enter the atmosphere, burning up and creating meteors.
